Set progname early in the postmaster/postgres binary, rather than doing

it later.  This fixes a problem where EXEC_BACKEND didn't have progname
set, causing a segfault if log_min_messages was set below debug2 and our
own snprintf.c was being used.

Also alway strdup() progname.

Backpatch to 8.1.X and 8.0.X.
